"Batter Up"

Imagine yourself sitting on the sidelines and cheering on your designated hero whether it's in the field of sports such as baseball, in business, entertainment, religion or spirituality, etc. You may worship your hero for their talent, their charisma, their power, their character, their spirituality, or perhaps their ability to make a difference. Having spent a lifetime on the sidelines following and worshiping your hero, you assume that it's your natural role in life to admire this special and accomplished individual as a designated follower. Believing your hero to be blessed by the hand of God with all of the talent, power and courage that you lack, you may be living out your dreams through them without the responsibility of being like them. Suddenly, you hear the call 'batter up'! Someone thrusts a baseball bat in your hand, slaps you on the back and says, "Come on, old soul, we need a hit. You can do it. You can make a difference." How do you react? Do you freeze, paralyzed with fear and insecurity? Or do you step up to the plate, willing to face the unknown, trusting that you have the inner resources and guidance to succeed? Countless old souls are now being called to pick up their bat, a symbol of the personal power that they have suppressed, and step up to the plate to face their fears and make a difference. In our soul contracts, we agreed to step into our power and offer our unique gifts and abilities to the world, to become the 'heroes' of our time as the collective co-creators of a wondrous new world. Have you stepped up to the plate or are you still sitting on the sidelines? Come on, it's time. Batter up!

Until next month. Be Well. Claudia
